St. Mark’s Parish Nurse Ministry: Water
Did you know that about 70% of our body is com-
posed of water? Everyone needs water to stay healthy
and survive. Water is essential to the body.
Drink WATER Instead of Coffee or Soda
If you drink too much coffee, dehydration may occur
because coffee is a diuretic and causes the body to
loose water.
ARE YOU Thirsty?
Thirst is a signal that your body needs water. Keep
hydrated with water before you become thirsty and
dehydrated, especially in the summer heat.
Function of Water in the Body
Water is the primary component of every cell in your
body and all body fluids including blood, lymph, sal-
via, cerebrospinal fluid, intestinal, gastric, and pancre-
atic juices.
Complications of Dehydration Extreme dehydration can cause damage to the kid-
neys, brain and heart. Occurs in episodes of severe
vomiting and diarrhea. The most common signs of
dehydration: thirst, dry lips, sunken eyes, cold hands
or feet, rapid breathing, and rapid heart rate. If you or
someone you know becomes severely dehydrated, it is
important that you get to a hospital immediately.
...a note from your
Parish Administrator Dear Parishioners,
- I pray that everyone is having a good summer!
There are many interesting saints whose feast days fall
in the months of July and August. Over the next few
weeks, we will learn about a number of them.
- St. Benedict (July 11): After founding twelve com-
munities of monks at Subiaco, Italy, Benedict of
Norcia (480 AD - 21 March 547) traveled
to Montecassino where he established a monastery
and wrote "The Rule." This simple set of guide-
lines for how the life of a monk should be lived has
become one of the most influential works in all of
Western Christendom. Interestingly, vocations
seemed to run in the family as his twin sister St.
Scholastica founded communities of contemplative
nuns.
- St. Bonaventure (July 15): Known as "the seraphic
doctor," was born at Bagnoregio, in the Lazio region
of central Italy, in 1221. A Franciscan, he did much for
his Order and composed The Life of St. Francis . He
also assisted at the translation of the relics of St.
Anthony of Padua.
Fr. Chris
